Healthy 20-Minute Chicken Stir-Fry for One

(Single-Serve + No-Fuss)

Total Time: 20 mins | Serves: 1 🥢

When you’re tired, hungry, and not in the mood for washing up three pans just to feed yourself — this easy stir-fry swoops in like a weeknight superhero.

It’s quick, wholesome, and ticks all the winter wellness boxes: lean protein, fibre-rich brown rice, vitamin C from capsicum, and anti-inflammatory garlic. You’ll be eating in 20 minutes flat, and smugly avoiding takeaway regret.


Lets Cook!

🛒 Ingredients

  • 100g chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • ½ red capsicum, sliced
  • ½ cup cooked brown rice (leftovers work perfectly)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

👩‍🍳 Method

  1. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick pan or wok.
  2. Add chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. Toss in garlic and sliced capsicum. Stir-fry for 2–3 more minutes.
  4. Add cooked brown rice and soy sauce. Stir everything through until heated and fragrant.
  5. Serve straight from the pan — no judgement.

💡 Plan4One Tips

  • Short on time? Use microwave brown rice to save even more minutes.
  • Want more greens? Add baby spinach or frozen peas with the capsicum.
  • Feeling under the weather? Add grated ginger with the garlic for an immunity kick.

🍴Why You’ll Love It

This dish is high in lean protein, provides a good dose of vitamin C, and the garlic brings in some natural anti-inflammatory power. Perfect for staying strong during winter, especially if you’re solo and short on time.
